    Confession: I used to think other sub-genres of science fiction (dystopia, "hard s.f.") were inherently superior to space opera. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

        There are moments when Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars Trilogy is absolutely breathtaking (The Accelerando) and moments when it feels like you're reading a very dry textbook.

        Robinson's commitment in those books to keeping to real science is admirable but it does make, at times, for arduous reading.

        Hard agree, I enjoy space/future just being a cool setting for a story focused on the characters
